2.         City Council authorize the public release of the confidential instructions in Attachment 1, at the end of the Council meeting.

 

The following instructions are now public:

 

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to present the following modifications to Official Plan Amendment No. 38 to the Ontario Municipal Board as a settlement of the appeal by the Building Industry and Land Development Association:

 

             a.        The words in the text of the OPA and identified below in bold italics be deleted:

 

“305.    Areas where Funding of Heritage Conservation District Studies is an Eligible Section 37 Community Benefit.

 

Where Section 37 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13, as amended, is used in developments within or in close proximity to those specific areas identified on the accompanying maps as Potential Heritage Conservation Districts, cash contributions to fund Heritage Conservation District studies will be eligible as community benefits.  Such contributions will be:

 

a.         subject to all provisions of Section 5.1.1 of this Plan except the requirement that community benefits be capital facilities and/or cash contributions toward specific capital facilities; and

 

b.         used for no purpose other than the Heritage Conservation District studies specified in the relevant Section 37 agreements or such capital facilities as are specified in the relevant Section 37 agreements.

 

One or both of the following criteria must be satisfied in order that a proposed development be considered to be within or in close proximity to a Potential Heritage Conservation District:

 

a.         the proposed development would likely have an impact on the heritage character of the Potential Heritage Conservation District; or

 

b.         the proposed development would benefit from the preservation of the heritage character of the Potential Heritage Conservation District.

 

The accompanying maps show two types of Potential Heritage Conservation Districts: those where studies and study area boundaries have not been authorized by City Council, identified on the accompanying maps by numbers; and those where Council has authorized Heritage Conservation District studies and has approved specific study area boundaries, identified on the accompanying maps by letters.  The boundaries shown for the former type are symbolic and general in nature, and to the extent that the respective text description for a particular District in accompanying Schedule B provides greater specificity regarding the boundaries, the text description will take precedence over the symbolic boundaries.  For the latter type, the specific study area boundaries authorized by Council are shown on the accompanying maps, and no text descriptions are provided.

 

For clarity, funding of Heritage Conservation District studies is not an eligible Section 37 community benefit with respect to developments proposed within the North York Centre, Sheppard East Subway Corridor or Central Finch Area Secondary Plans.

 

Schedules A and B below, and the attached maps, also form part of this policy.”

 

            b.         The text deleted above in Part 1a be replaced by the following:

 

“The former type is symbolic and general in nature and the existence and precise boundaries of a Heritage Conservation District will be determined after completion of a formal Heritage Conservation District study.  Schedule A: List of Potential Heritage Conservation Districts and Schedule B: Descriptions of Potential Heritage Conservation Districts are also general in nature.  For the latter type, the specific study area boundaries authorized by Council are shown on the accompanying maps and no text descriptions are provided.

 

Read together, the maps, the list and the written descriptions serve to help determine whether a proposed development is within or in close proximity to a Potential Heritage Conservation District through the application of the criteria set out above, and thus whether a cash contribution toward a Heritage Conservation District study is an eligible Section 37 community benefit.  They do not serve to determine the outcome of any Heritage Conservation District study or define the precise boundaries of any future Heritage Conservation District.”

 

       c.        In the section of Official Plan Amendment No. 38, entitled “Schedule B: Descriptions of Potential Heritage Conservation Districts”, the wording of each description be modified by inserting the word “Generally” or “generally” in the appropriate location in the last sentence of each description, so as to qualify the description of the boundaries of each Potential Heritage Conservation District.
